Pattern Cutting Update and Illustration

Last Thursday was our pattern cutting lesson and the aims for our lesson were to complete the hip block pattern from the pervious week, create a circle skirt pattern and a plain skirt pattern. I found the circle skirt pattern very easy and simple to do, and I even made one to my own measurements.

On Friday we had an induction to illustration, with Sam our illustration tutor. She gave us a short seminar on what illustration is and the different types of illustration. Sam also showed us examples of her own work, which gave me ideas and inspirtations for my own projects. I particularly liked how she created simple silhouettes, which turned a piece of work into something interesting, amazing and creative. Once the seminar had ended, we were given an activity, which was to pick out a quote, poem, rhyme or a clipping from a newspaper, and then illustrate the article. I chose 'Humpty Dumpty' and drew three small images to represent the rhyme.
